Kagome held Inuyasha close, just feeling him, breathing in his scent. It was the blood smell that finally got to her though and she devoted her attention to Inuyasha's wounds. After sharing their energies for a time, they seperated, looking for Oichi and Myouga. They found them looking after Shippo, who seemed unharmed and sleeping peacefully. Kagome walked up to it letting out a soft squeel at his cuteness, while Oichi showed off her kit.
"He looks like such a cute fox!"
"Isn't he?"
Inuyasha kept off to the side with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face. Myouga hopped up next to him and the two conversed.
"Myouga, tell me, have you heard anything about this shadow that those thunder brothers were talking about?"
"Yes, I have heard rumors about things similar to this, but it is hard to say."
"Tell me what you can."
While Inuyasha conversed, Oichi and Kagome were talking about Shippo.
"So he was born looking like a fox?"
"Yes, that is a Kitsuine's natural form, they gain the ability to change to human like form at two years or so."
"Wow, that must be hard."
"Not really, form changing is not hard at all for full youkai."
"He's just soo cute as a little fox!"
"Do you wish to hold him?"
"Ohh, can I?"
Kagome gently took the kit from Oichi, who was smiling maternally. After giggling at the kit's restlessness, she rocked it gently to calm it down.
"You will make a great parent Kagome, though I am not to sure about Inuyasha."
Kagome absently answered, smiling at the kit "Inuyasha melts at children, they are the only thing that keep him from yelling."
Oichi smiled, Kagome was almost completely absorbed in watching the kit. "By the way Kagome, how are you able to change half-youkai if your form is human."
Kagome shifted her attention to Oichi, her tail begining to swish. "Well it was a sort of accident, Inuyasha got himself in trouble and to help him, I got infused with youkai power, this form is the result." Kagome gestured to her cat ears. "I can suppress the youkai blood if I use my miko powers, but it can get very hard if I let go of my human form."
Oichi cocked her head "Must be hard to be a half-breed after being only human."
"I can manage, Inuyasha helps me with control, besides, when I suppress my youkai form the emtions are easier to deal with."
"Hmm, he would. Tell you what!" Oichi brightened "I will help you too! IInuyasha may be a good teacher, but he's a male, they don't know the stuff we women need to know."
"Ahem!" Inuyasha butted in "I think it would be best if we continue on, Myouga will look for rumers while we can continue on."
"I'm coming!" Oichi chirped.
"What about your kit?" Kagome asked.
"We can leave him with my stupid mate!" Oichi smiled "He can take care of Shippo no problem!"
Kagome looked rather disturbed while Inuyasha just fehed.
Oichi seeing Kagome's look decided to explain. "We have a temporary mating, it is not uncommon for one partner to leave once the child can be supported. I believe that Shippo will be fine with his father, I was going to leave soon anyway."
"That sounds sort of cruel."
"Oh, don't worry, I'll check up on him from time to time, besides, youkai childhoods last somewhere around 100 years."
Kagome's eyes widened "Whoa."
Oichi laughed "Don't worry, they grow fast, Shippo here is still rather young. Besides, I want to come with you, it looks like fun!"
Inuyasha sioghed, it was going to be a long day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
After dropping Shippo off the three began to travel again. They stopped outside a village next to a river.
"You know a boat ride sounds fun!" Oichi grinned, ready to go sneak into town.
"We aren't stealing one Oichi!" Kagome scolded.
"Oh, like they are going to let two half breeds borrow one!" She replied.
Inuyasha decided that it wasn't worth it to interfere.
"I can just turn human again, they won't have any trouble with a miko."
"Ok, go right ahead, kitty cat!" Oichi huffed, denyed the pleasure of stealing.
Kagome concentrated, her tail waving, focusing on the energy inside of her. Suddenly her tail went straight, and she gasped. Inuyasha noticing this turned to her curiously, watching as she began to tremble, and start to cry.
"Kagome?"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, INUYASHA!!!!!!!! I can't turn back, I can't turn back!"
"Whadda ya mean you can't turn back!"
"I am stuck as a cat!!"
Inuyahsa stumped for a second was galvanized as Kagome began to cry. Embracing her and stroking her back he tried to soothe her. Oichi decided that this would be best to watch from a distance.
"Shhh comon Kag, it's not that bad."
"I don't wanna be a cat! What about school, what about my life at home!"
"Sigh, it's bot as if you will be missing much Kag."
Kagome smacked Inuyasha on the chest "Now is not the time to joke!"
"What, which would you rather be, angry or sad?"
"grr."
"Hmmm, ok then, I'll decide." Inuyasha reached down, but before he coould grab Kagome's tail she pushed him away. Inuyasha landed on his behind.
"Don't try it stupid!"
Oichi laughed and decided to help. "Oh, Kagome, you do know that dog-boy over there was rumaging through your pack earlier, right? Well he showed me some very interesting undergarments while he was doing that!"
"WHAT!?" Kagome glared at the sheepish Inuyasha. "I'm going to rip your ears off!"
Inuyasha began to run.
